i have 0 motivation, i don't really like electrical or computer engineering. i haven't been to class in two days (well i am kind of sick).

all i want to do is play hockey, but i'll never get paid for that because i'm horrible, so i'd like work for the nhl somehow.

luckily, my design class is led by a professor who works directly with the penguins and is creating some new mobile technologies for the team...for instance, a live isolated cam on each player, which you can access via any mobile device during a game. and dvr-like instant replays, with the ability to fast forward and rewind. so that's cool, i'm going to try and get in on that.

and bryan is completely right. at cmu, i am a retard.

I'm way smarter than your average retard.

What I meant goes beyond that. Plus, I feel like I'm smarter than everyone here but that idea isn't true because.. smart is relative. Hell, how do you even accurately register something like that?

change your major to sports management.

yeah because cmu's sports management program rocks.

no, i've got less than two semesters left until i get an ECE degree from one of the top 3 ECE schools in the nation. i just need to muscle through this shit, do some fucking work and then peace out.

i was looking at my grades, the semester where i posted the most on the board was also the semester where i got the best gpa. weird.

Osmosis

no i think it was more of the fact that spending all my time in front of a computer led to me doing work for my computer-related major more often.

so, in theory, now that i'm active on both the saoboard and reddit, my grades should be doubly as good.

See the guys that protested the Westboro Baptist Church that were on the front page of reddit? They had signs like "HEY WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH I'M HAPPY FOR YOU AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT MEL GIBSON WAS THE BEST ANTI-SEMITE OF ALL TIME.. OF ALL TIME" etc

Yeah that's my old roommate.

shirley phelps rules!

hahah really? that's fucking hilarious. that was a good post. that meme got old so fucking fast. then again, they kind of all do.

are you active at all on reddit

2:00 AM accounting party at the 24 hour Coffee Cartel, everyone's invited!!!

so far, it's looking like this quarter isn't going to be too stressful for me.

update from Coffee Cartel:

2:50 AM
schitzo goes around the cafe asking for money
3:05 AM
aforementioned schitz finally wobbles over to me and i hear his story. he tells me about his mom dying in a fire. and that his sister was also in the building. he had to bury his mom today and needs money to get a room for tonight, or keys to my apartment, or at least fare to get back to illinoise. i tell him that i'm a broke student with an apple and a couple of empty drinks in front of me. frustrated, he scurries away to some kid with a better laptop and expensive headphones and a better insulated jacket.
3:12 AM
I glance over at the kid and he's left his laptop to go to the ATM and grab money. black man sitting next to him saves him and basically tells the bum to fuck off.
3:28 AM
older gentleman sitting next to me gets annoyed (or worried) and steps outside with his phone.
3:33 AM
three cop cars show up. good bye.

110 Free Online Courses on all types of engineering cause we're all broke. Interesting stuff too, this is gonna help out so much if I actually do it.

I have an Art History exam on Thursday. I am completely not ready and wholly unsure as to how to even study for such a thing.

more 100's! on my test tonight, and paper we handed in last week....

the A plus kid strikes again!!

Congrats Robbie. I can't wait until you start taking upper division classes

Yeah...or anything challenging for that matter it seems.

party pooper

I said congrats!

thank you, sir.

I got a B on my World Lit II midterm. Guess everyone can't get As.

i have my english mid term next week. im not expecting to get an A.. but i am going to try.

a B is still a great grade for a mid term... good work dude.

edit: i cant believe its already half way through the semester....

Not trying to be negative dude, just saying that most college courses aren't designed for the student to ace every exam, so you aren't being challenged enough IMO. But props anyways, you're definitely off to a good start back at school.

Edit: I got a 49% on my Physics Exam....and it's satisfactory!! Huzzah for grading curves!!!!

76% on my Macroeconomics mid-semester exam
62.5% on my Statistics assignment

Doing better than I thought.

Applying for colleges is so nerve-racking! I have to start.

i thought your username was blumpkin there for a second. that would have been better. you should change your username.

my applications are all done and over with. now all i have to do is wait. fuck waiting.

i got a 15 out of 150 on a circuits 2 exam my sophomore year. then the next exam I came back and got a 165 out of 150. I literally almost shat my pants. I usually got 80 out of 150 on my circuit exams. got a B+ in the class. The final grade in electrical courses is ridiculously curved though.

did you have to take any dsp classes

i don't know what dsp is, but so far for my minor i have taken...

ecs 102 - introduction to programming in c
ele 231 - circuits 1
ele 291 - circuits 1 lab
ele 232 - circuits 2
ele 292 - circuits 2 lab
ele 332 - analog circuits
ele 392 - analog lab

i am currently taking
ele 331 - digital circuits
ele 391 - digital lab


after this semester i will be done with my minor. I would have a pretty badass gpa if i didnt take engineering classes.

digital signals processing

I miss college, working full time and applying to grad schools is no fun

i've started applying and submitting. vandy is my ED school but if i don't get in (good chance of being rejected), i'm going off to wisconsin.

wisconsin?

wisconsin is awesome. out of all the state schools i'm applying to, that's my top choice.

I heard Madison is pretty sweet. Aint no Happy Valley, but its still pretty cool. Best Halloween party in the country supposedly.

you forgot the best part:

That their mascot borrows Waldo's shirt on gamedays?

i hear the girls have cankles up there.

it is, i visited the campus back in may and fell in love with it. luckily i went when they had perfect weather and students were still around so the general feel was better than expected.

F midterms. Oceanography, American History, and my first speech for Public Speaking tomorrow.

fml

Shit I would love that. Im not sure how hard oceanography is, but Id still take trifecta over a lot of my old college midterms.

i am about to do really shitty on my mid term tonight...

Stacy I would never tell you to not go some place because of the weather but consider the following: My friend who goes to Wisconsin told me that he had a 8am chem lab last year. During the coldest part of the winter, he had to walk across campus in -20 degree temp.

BTW, Where else are you applying?
If you need any help, I'm here. I didn't get into any of my first couple choices but I feel like I now know what I did wrong and may be able to spread some light in this dark hole that is college admission.

Dark hole?

the anus, russ. the anus.

why don't you work on it instead of posting on the internet?

i am about to do really shitty on my midterm tomorrow.

I have a Physics II exam tomorrow and a materials synthesis exam on Thursday. Whatever I'm sick with needs to go away cause I really really need to be able to study.
